  1. HA HA Microsoft on Microsoft Uses "I'm a PC" Character In New Ads · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I love how you are doing the advertising for Apple now!!! Like Microsoft is really making people love them with those ads that really don't say anything about their OS.

  2. There.com on Researchers Find Racial Bias In Virtual Worlds · · Score: 1

    I play there.com and i see this as being very flawed experiment. First off, It does not take 2 hours to teleport to 50 landmarks with in the game. Second, one of the places that they mentioned Duda Beach is an overcrowed section of land with to many personal area zones that have many animated items that cause alot of lag so of course people will not want to teleport to that location. I wounder where they were going for those 50 locations. Did they actually check out those sections first? How long have they actually played within there to experiance the virtual world before they started their experiment. Who were they asking...People that have been in game for more than 2 years or new avatars that are less than 6 months old?

  6. Re:Not on my TV on Apple TV "Barely Watchable" · · Score: 2, Informative

    If any one really read the requirements, it says for use with a WIDE SCREEN TV. To me that doesn't mean it needs to be HD. I bought the Apple TV. I have it hooked up to my 42" Samsung Plasma HD TV and I think it looks great. I knew not to expect 1080i on the video's. Can't complain about Apple TV.

  7. There.com looked into this before on FBI Examines Second Life Casinos · · Score: 1

    I play http://there.com/ and we wanted casino items in game to play with, however since you can purchase addition Tbucks (currency) they said it would be illegal and encourage underage gambling.

  8. Of course Vista is selling X2 on MS Says Vista Selling At Twice XP's Pace · · Score: 1

  15. Re:Difference between this and full version on Microsoft Launches Visual Studio Express, VS 2005 Beta · · Score: 1

    usually if they release an express it is for just viewing those type of documents.

    Like volo view express, it is just to view cad drawing but you can't do anything but view them.

  16. I had been infected. on Corporate Servers Spreading IE Virus [Updated] · · Score: 3, Informative

    I was infected by stratics.com They use a third party pop up ad services and one of the ads is what installed the malware. It installed Lycos and STI on my machine, plus other junk.

    It ended up embedding itself everywhere in my registry. After an hour of deleting all registry entries and even uninstalling IE6 and then reinstalling it, My search section of IE was still Lycos and banner ads would show up in it.

    The only option i had left was to format and reinstall micosux windcrap.

  19. MYTH this is what it is. on Can Cell Phones Ignite Gasoline Vapors? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    On the Discovery Channel there is a show called Mythbusters (love that show) and they tried every which way to see how a cell phone can ignite gasoline vapors.

    They had there "blast chamber" filled with gas vapors and oxygen. Called the cell phone and nothing happened. Infact they ended up trying just static electricity and still nothing happened.

  24. Re:It needs to be a standard label for filters on FTC Adopts New Rule For Sexually Explicit Spam · · Score: 2, Informative

    You can have rules or even blockers that will look for this key word of Sexual Explicit and have it rejected.

    I think having this warning will be great. Just have a rule or filter looking for this in the subject line and then it rejects or auto delete it.
